I would love to see any of those photos if you are able to post them ! :thumbsup
I do have one photograph of a Soviet General presenting an ORB to an American Colonel. The General himself wears the Commander of the U.S. Legion of Merit around his neck, as prescribed. But I suspected that the award ceremony might have been a reciprocal exchange ceremony and that the Soviet General might have just been awarded the Legion of Merit before he himself presented Soviet decorations to American personnel.
